T0 HZ? idiom 'it may concern.'

Be it known that we, DELAMAR C. BRIGGS and Joint G. RUMNEY, citizens of the UnitedStates of America, residing at Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful lmprovnnents in Vindow-Clips, of `which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to .the accompany ing drawings.

The invention relates to metallic window clips of that type employed for the securing oi' the glass pane in position in .metallic window frames, and the invention consists in the peculiar construction as hereinafter set `forth.

ln the drawings :-l `igure l is a cross section through a sash bar of a metallic window traine showing the clip applied thereto Afor securing the window pane in. position; Fig. '2 is au elevation of the clip and bar as shown in Figa l; and Fig. is a perspective view of the clip detached.

ln the securing of window panes iu position in metallic window sashes, various de ricos have been employed as a substitute' for the points commonly employed with wooden sashes. lt is essentialv that the means employed should hold the pane from acci dental disengagement and it is equally important that it be easily engageable and discngageable with and from the Window `traino. @ur improved construction fullils these essei'itial conditions, theconstruction boing as follows:

A is one o the' sash division bars of a metallic window sash which is formed with ashoulder l against which the pane rests and a flange C which extends between the adjacent panes.

Dur improved clip consists of a bent re'-,

silient wire loop D having one end E laterally bent to engage an aperture F inthe sash bar. The opposite leg G of the loop is of greater length and is provided with an oppositely laterally Vbent end portion H adped to hook over the edge oztsthe pane,.whilev vthe lleg Gr extends between said edge of the pane and the flange C. The relative arrangenieaitVVV that there will be no tendency for the clip once engaged, to spring 'out of position.

In placing the clips in position it is sometimes difficult for the Workman to obtain a hold of the clip while engaging the hook E v with the aperture F. We therefore prefen ably form the leg G With an inward bend l therein which brings an intermediate portion J to the 4rear of the plane of the face Vot the glass over which the hook Hisengaged. This'enables the Workman to obtain a linger hold of the leg G While he is placing the clip in-positionfl-fw lWhat we claim as our invention is:

l. The combination With the bar of a metallic window sash, .of a clip comprising a resilient Wipe loop having the legs thereof of diierentsiength and provided With oppositcly laterally bent ends the bent end of the shorter leg being engageable with an aperture in said sash bar and the longer leg lying between the edge-of the Windowsr pane and said bar, and having its intermediate portion bent inward for a iinger grip and its laterally bent end portion engaging the pane.

2. The combination with the angle bar of a metallic window sash, of a pane securing clip comprising a loop of resilient wire having the legs thereof of di'erent length and provided with oppositely laterally bent end portions, the bent end portions of the turc in the flange of said sash bar and the longer leg having an inwardly bent inter- `mediate portion forming a linger hold lying tallic Window sash, of a clip comprisinga resilient Wire loop having the legs thereof provided with oppositely" laterally bent Vends, the bent end of one of the-legs being shorter leg being engageable With an aper-` adapted to engage an aperture in thesash In testimony whereof We ailing oml signabar and the other leg being adapted to lie tures in presence of two witnesses. btween the edge of the window-parleur@ i DELAMAR C. BRGGS. lthe sash bar, and having its intermediate JOHN G. RUMNEV 5 portion bent inward for a finger grip and its Witnesses laterally bent end portion being adapted to -f R. S. DRUMMOND, engage the pane. f H. J. WILLIAMS.
